The Book Thief
The book The Book Thief written by Markus Zusak is about a curious girl named Leizel who has been going through a lot. It's also about the Holocaust, a horrible time in human history. This book was worth telling the tale because of the intensity of the book and the connection to the characters.
This book is so intense. The first part of the book that I thought had a lot of impact on me was the scene when they were on the train and Leizel found out when her brother was dead or taken by Death (the narrator). That part almost made me cry. Another part of the book that I thought was crazy was when everyone went to the bonfire to burn the books. That was a very memorable part of the book and history, and not a good one. It was so detailed and how they described it. The last part is about most intense part of the whole book, it's when their neighborhood gets bombed in the war and everyone in Leizel new family dies and Rudy. I was balling my eyes out!
When you read amazing books you become fond of the characters. Here are some characters that I was very fond of. Firstly, Leizel is my favorite character. I'm usually the one who hates the primary characters like Harry Potter, but Leizel touched my heart. She was brave, strong, smart, and just a one of a kind person. She is like no other main character. Another character was Leizel's father Hans. He was one of the characters that you just had to love! Last person would have to be Rudy. He was a great secondary character. He was a perky, flirty, and adventurous lemon haired boy.
This book really inspired me. It inspired me to read more about the Holocaust and see how bad people had it. Even though it doesn't make sense that Hitler was all Jewish, this book really stole my heart.
